A combined experimental and numerical approach was adopted to investigate the focused tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding process by producing bead-on-plate welds in Inconel 718 plates. Experimental investigations were carried out by means of thermocoup...

Residual stress analysis and finite element modelling of repair-welded titanium sheets (2017)
Journal Article
Salerno, G., Bennett, C., Sun, W., & Becker, A. (in press). Residual stress analysis and finite element modelling of repair-welded titanium sheets. Welding in the World -London-, 61(6), https://doi.org/10.1007/s40194-017-0506-1

An innovative FE modelling approach has been tested to investigate the effects of weld repair thin sheets of titanium alloy, taking into account pre-existing stress field in the components. In the case study analysed, the residual stress fields due t... Read More about Residual stress analysis and finite element modelling of repair-welded titanium sheets.

A numerical methodology for predicting tool wear in Friction Stir Welding (2016)
Journal Article
Hasan, A., Bennett, C., Shipway, P., Cater, S., & Martin, J. (2017). A numerical methodology for predicting tool wear in Friction Stir Welding. Journal of Materials Processing Technology, 241, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jmatprotec.2016.11.009

A novel methodology for predicting tool wear in FSW based on a CFD model, coupled with a modified Archard equation, is presented considering the effect of the deformation of the highly viscous flow around the tool on tool wear. A validation process... Read More about A numerical methodology for predicting tool wear in Friction Stir Welding.
